MONDAY TRAVELS: WHAT KIND OF WOMAN IS THIS by Buddy Guy

Happy Monday friends! Welcome to another edition of Monday Travels

So today we are in UNITED STATES and we will explore:

WHAT KIND OF WOMAN IS THIS?

Let's meet Buddy Guy

George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is an exponent of Chicago blues and has influenced eminent guitarists including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards. In the 1960s, Guy played with Muddy Waters as a house guitarist at Chess Records and began a musical partnership with the harmonica player Junior Wells. Guy was born and raised in Lettsworth^. He began learning to play the guitar using a two-string diddley bow he made. Later he was given a Harmony acoustic guitar, which, decades later in Guy's lengthy career, was donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Lyrics:

The gates of Heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by
Hey, the gates of heaven must be open
I think I saw an angel just walk by

I heard a blind man screamin', say
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
There goes a sight for my sore eyes
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
What kind of woman is this?

You should be locked up, pretty girl
In my bedroom with me
Hey, you should be locked up, pretty girl
In my bedroom with me

So we can do the same thing that Adam
Did under that old apple tree
What he did under that apple tree
What he did under that apple tree

Well, well, well, well, well, well
Choke out
Here I come again

There's always some good lookin' girls
Hangin' 'round this famous place
Well, hey, there's always some good lookin' girls
Hangin' round this famous place, talkin' bout legends now

Aww, but this particular one
Looked like somethin' from outer space
She looked like somethin' from outer space

 

What kind of woman is this?
Hmm, what kind of woman is this?
What kind of woman is this?
Ooh, what kind of woman is this?

 

Look at that, she shakes all over when she walk
She made a blind man see
Made a dumb man talk
What kind of woman is this?
Hmm, shucks

 

Tell me, hey, what kind of woman is this, man?
Somebody gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta tell me, tell me
What kind of woman is this?

Thoughts:

Ok, so today Monday Travels is a little different, because today I give you a jem of blues music, the soulful voice of Buddy Guy!

I enjoy country, soul and blues music genres a lot, and Muddy Waters is a very good band. That's how I simply became aware of Buddy Guy and this wonderful song I present to you today,
Is it a poem?

Yes, I would say so, since the music just lifts the lyrics to another level!

So enjoy and let me know if you know any other beautiful blues songs!

See you Next Monday!
